being chased

[duma87]

hi everyone, this is a dream that a friend of mine had (she's female)...

she and i were partying in the 'ghetto' and we were in an attic...she got lost somehow and ended up being chased by a black guy. she ran through the streets and eventually found me and was really upset about being chased.

any interpretation?

Hi,

If one dreamt he was running away means he will be forgiven or he will overcome the enemy.
Because Moses dreamt he was running away from Pharaoh and later he overcame the Pharaoh.
If one dreamt men were running away from women means he is afraid of a big man.
To run away if he didn't scream means happiness but if he screamed means a disaster is on the way.

Hello duma87,
This dream could be interepreted a couple of ways (even both ways simultaneously...(called a multi plane dream).

Being chased by the black guy can realate to possible real life anxieties that she may harbor, having to do with cultural and ethnic diversity...real life fear that she may have.

Or it may well have to do with the fact that her subconscious mind has much to present to her (in dreams). This type of dream typically occurrs in those who for long periods of time, neglect the messages that the subconscious mind sends via dreams. When it senses that it has the dreamers attention, the chase is on. Hence the black guy chasing her...Black or dark skin often represents the subconscious mind (being known best for operating in the dark of night as we sleep). Keep in mind that the chase would not end up...in the scheme of things... creating any threatening feelings if this were the meaning. If the dreamer is totally threatened, then this is not the likely interpretation.

The other possible meaning is telling her that she sees you as a figure of strength, someone who she can rely upon.

Well dreams are symbolic of your actual thoughts. They represent perhaps new insights and feelings regarding the situations you are in. They show you reacting and assessing how things are going.

Dreams then can relate to anything going on in your life. But there are big clues with dreams - they often link specifically to things happening yesterday or thoughts becoming promintent right now. So if you were to interpret a dream correctly then it would capture some thought like "I did feel inhibited yesterday. It was really starting to get to me". So look for little ways in which your new conclusions could link to dreams.

For instance this dream features chasing. I study dreams and have found that this symbol could relate to emotions such as feeling inhibited, feeling as if you are under pressure, and feeling as if you really cannot get away from some situation.

Does your friend feel inhibted or stressed or pressured in such a way. If thats the case then the dream could relate to that very situation

------------------
One way of telling how vital dreams are is to study people who are deprived of sleep and dreams.Sleep deprivation is very dangerous if it continues for extended periods. If you are deprived of sleep for several days then you will slip into madness. The reason for this is that sleep and dreams are linked to vital brain functions.

During the day we store up new thoughts and experiences within short term memory blocks. So if we are deprived sleep these become overloaded. The mind has no more space to store new feelings so these are merely forgotten.

During sleep vital brain waves emerge. Beta waves and theta waves are only ever detected within the brain at night. These help us process through those new feelings and experiences stored in short term memory. We integrate these new feelings into long term memory blocks. So if you do not sleep then you will not be updating your thoughts. You will not be building a bigger picture.
